Well, yes, Doyle didn't address those issues either, but as a society, we're supposed to have become *somewhat* more aware since. Those issues going unchallenged in 2010 is not equivalent to them going unchallenged in ACD's time.
(and I know how people think Moffat and Gattiss are geniuses, but I think that's only because RTD is such a crap director/writer etc.... I think they have better ideas and they're better at executing them, but their strong point is action not introspective character-based plots....)
Heh. Too true, both in terms of their writing flaws and RTD making them look good by comparison. I really should make a post about the latest DW season at some point.
Ah, I had forgotten about the Orientalism in the second ep - yes, that had been downright embarrassing to watch (I think I've done all I could to block it out of my mind)
I may have physically facepalmed a few times while watching, no lie.
